I scored this BURRIED 1961 Ford Thunderbird for $150. It came with the property that a woman bought and I have no history on it. Let's see if it'll run and if we can flip it.

Just subscribed. I love the slow, zen pacing of Vice Grip Garage, but your channel is the perfect "yang" to that yin. Great editing, great commentary, great projects! Keep up the amazing work! Cheers!
Well I have to admit that I did not think the Engine would ever run again. BUT you got it running Chris! WOW!!!
With all that dirt on top of the pistons
Best way to start a Saturday morning on the porch with a coffee in hand
That old "off topic" car in the junkyard is a Triumph Mayflower
Saw a Saab Sonnett up on top of that container too.
You are always so positive. Not sure if I can see the value in the old girl
It takes a true enthusiast to take her on. However, with a 390 it is worth the time and cost.
"Will it run? Yes! Why? 'Cause I got problems!" LOL. Chris, I think you could make a rock engine run. LOL.
I was grinning ear to ear when that T bird came to life. Unreal. Cool stuff brother.
You gotta love Chris’s commitment to answer the questions we all really want to know. He’s definitely going to make a great dad and teach his child a massive wealth of knowledge!
It's always so relaxing watching NNKH videos!
You inspired me to buy an old lincoln continental 7.5l, the way you fix things, not simply buy new pieces amazes me!
You know how to create a decent video, Chris. It doesn't matter the subject. For some reason, you keep me glued to it all the way to the end. Keep 'em coming bro.
My sentiments, exactly !!
I'll 3rd this. exactly.
yep i like these random stuff videos :D
Good way to start off a Saturday, with some NNKH
Reminds me of the old story about a guy whose car breaks down a block from a service station, he pushes the car there, tells the mechanic what happened, the mechanic pulls out a stethoscope, takes a listen, gets his ball peen hammer and carefully takes a whack at a specific spot. The mechanic tells the guy that that will cost him $50.00. The guy is shocked, and says, "I could have done that with my hammer". The mechanic replies, "I don't think so! I knew where to hit!" You, sir, are Mr. Determination, Mr. KnowHowToDoIt. Nice job.
When that 390 finally broke loose it sounded like Chewbacca taking a dump! I honestly thought the engine was not going to move. I admire your perseverance!
A new NNKH video is a great way to start a Saturday!
Its Saturday PM in the UK as I watch this. So happy! 😊
Love that you take Gus everywhere with you! Thanks for all the great content!
Saturday morning, coffee, doughnuts and NNKH!
One of the few long form channels that I watch entirely. Your awesome Chris.
Man, that is too funny, you were only 10 minutes from where I live! I am in UBE, in PA right across from Milford NJ. You were driving on a lot of the roads I like to cruise around on with my Foxbody. Too bad I didn't see you on the road, that would have been awesome! 29 is one of my favorite roads to cruise with the beautiful scenery.
Hopefully PA gets their act together in the next month and a half🇺🇸
Being able to resurrect such a dead beast is never a waste of time. I think you would be miles ahead in a post apocalypse world.
Chris did you know the guy that redid your trailer ? I think you just like helping people out. You’re the BEST !
Yeah he used to be my neighbor for years. Good guy. I'll have to see what welder he's using and get him something better.
Always an exciting Day! NNKH just the way to start the Day! A Real Gem in the Rough! Go for it!
That look Gus gave when he smelled the inside of it was priceless. looks like a part-out/junk yard special.
Yes! It's a NNKH Saturday morning!
I think Tbirds probably had the most drastic body changes through the years than any other car. I learned to drive a 79 Tbird and eventually owned it.
You got more patience than me, I wouldn't have even attempted to get that engine running 😂 good video man.
NNKH never disappointing with the quality and most of all variety of content. Watch it twice to catch everything.
I love everything vintage ❤❤
man seeing how far gone that was and hearing how smooth it ran afterwards is mind blowing. Im glad your fk it i wanna hear it any ways mindset twisted your arm to keep going with it. Also a couple washers behind the spare will help
Breakfast with Chris. Gotta love it!
The trim, glass, door handles, and insignia badges… etc are all easily worth $150. People don’t think of how much value there is in all the small, nearly impossible to find parts.
Good video Chris keep them coming.
Enjoy watching your videos Chris, epically this one. My Uncle Ted bought 2 0f these T-birds NEW back in the old days, a 1962& a 1963. He would drop by my dad's house b(Clifton, NJ) to show me his new Thunderbird with all it's innovative features, air conditioning was one of those features, I forget the reason why he only kept the 62 for one year, but I think it had something to do with the new 63 having more options available, one being some sort of special type of pre-recorded music player, not a tape deck or CD, not even a 8 track, just amazing for it's time, maybe one of your viewers would know. Anyway, keep up the good work , I miss NJ, but who can afford it these days.
I'm only 5mins into the video, but MAN what a beautiful car. It'll be just my luck the engine will be a dud. Lets keep watching and find out....
Absolutely beautiful piece of the countryside!
"Why? . . . Because I got problems, that's why."
LOL . . . a lot of us have that same problem.
Your patience and tenacity never cease to amaze me Chris. Great video!
Loved the drive
Love junkyards too.
I LOVE the 61-63 Thunderbirds. Any Thunderbird of the 60's is great though, 60-69 were some of the best looking cars made and had quite a few innovations in them. My dream would be a 63 Thunderbird Monaco, I drove one a few years back and just didn't have the space to buy it.
The '61-'63 are also my favorite cars. I've owned two '63's and a '61. My sister owned a '62. Unfortunately I'm just too old to be taking car of an older car like that now. My heart was broken when this guy just ripped that hood to pieces.
Good to see you care about the quality of the welds.👍
You never fail to entertain - that t-Bird may have been mostly junk but to me it was historical medal. Loved the junk yard walk around and meeting Nick.
That's the first LeMans wagon I've seen. Badass.
Absolutely the best channel on TH-cam…your content is unique. What I like about your channel is how you are so smart and repurpose …no waste (you say overkill…no crime in that…sleep at night with overkill) other thing is you are the same dude with 10 subs as you are now with many more…love the area you live in …love the heritage…I live in Canada..definitely would visit more USA states in the future…love your channel bud…look forward to the next one…🇨🇦
Chris prepared as always, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze, keep up the excellent work.
EVAPORUST!!!!! It makes it EASY!!! Makes EVEN ME look like a mechanic, and you are 100× the mechanic i am!
You blow my mind Chris. Your determination is epic! Love watching you do what you do! NNKH is the bomb!
I love those scissor jacks, really strong! You’re an engine magician Chris, you always have your different tricks to try on theses engines! Amazing
Those welds the guy did are a crime for life sentence haha
The comment about breaking the crank triyng to get it unseized. I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to break a 390 crank, they are pretty beefy. Huge difference compared to any small block crankshaft. Good 390 cranks, rods, blocks are getting harder to find.
The early sixties T birds were something special. I know I had one. The first thought I have when I see a specialty car like this that has been sitting I cannot help but wonder why they parked it. What stopped it dead in its tracks over fourty years ago. Maybe this fella can find a small clue as to why. Good luck.
I'm always amazed at your talent and patience for making things work. Great job and great video!!! Thanks for sharing.
42.15 Triumph Mayflower/Renown. Never thought you'd get that engine running.
Awesome video Chris! It's always nice to see Gus. Hope you and Jen have a great weekend. Thank you for posting 😀
Good work I thought you were about to give up but your persistence came through that's the kind of videos I like from you
You earned your keep in this video!! Love that gen T bird! My folks had a '64 Monterey 2 door 390 car. Really cool dashes.
Those early 60s Tbirds were so ahead in the interior styling IMHO. Like a cockpit. Decades later designers started to copy it again. The jet age styling overall on of my favorites.
don't know how but i got attach to watching your work routine, you have a good life, buddy
Came home from my awful job , to this yesss I've been craving a revival type video from you so syked ❤ my favourite TH-cam ever haha thanks Chris hope jen and the baby are doing good :)
Can you just imagine how pretty that T bird looked when it was new. What a shame it was allowed to just rot away.
Looks like my very first ride at 16 YOA! Mine was white with red interior.
Wow Chris, I really didn't think that you would get the t bird running again but you did and that's amazing. I think your welds look pretty good too.
WOW! Great job I really didn't think it would run
One of your best videos ever. Great job!
To the people that don't like seeing you open a hood that way. Invite them over to open that hood. And not take 2 hours doing it. Love your stuff Chris keep it coming.
The two hours would have been well spent. That's a one year only part and probably worth every bit of 500 dollars or more.
Will it run ? Love this guy ! 😂🤣😂. Chris will find a way ✊🏾
NNKH ROCKS!
Man o man, that's my dream car.. $150 is the deal of a lifetime. Thank you so much for doing what you do. I enjoyed every second of this video bro!! Congratulations 😊
You are always very thorough my friend. Keep it up!!
Just put some washers behind the spare wheel to stop the tire from rubbing on the metal.
This guy is a beast. I admire his passion.
What a nice way to start a Saturday. Thanks Chris, I needed this today.
Chris Hi Friend I appreciate what you do in these videos ,you and your wife !! And the dog and cat is awesome to !! Plus Pa here as well and i also love the classic cars and trucks !! So keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍
Wow Gus
ME BEING A FULL BLOWN NORTH CAROLINA GEARHEAD I LOVE AND RESPECT WHAT YOU DO AND I GREW UP EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY POOR WE HAD TO INNOVATE DREAMS TO REALITY WITH AIR IN ONE HAND AND A WRENCH IN THE OTHER....IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO DABBLE THROUGH MAYBERRY MT AIRY NORTH CAROLINA OR EVEN IN THE CANA VIRGINIA AREA..... I GUARANTEE YOU'LL FIND DIRT CHEAP BARN FINDS EVERYWHERE
You gotta get one of those little portable air compressors. I mean you never know if the tires will hold air, but it would be worth the investment.
My goodness. Thought this was a no run for sure (and for a moment it seemed as if you did to). Amazing!
Had a smile ear-to-ear throughout this vdo 😊
Christian Brown...YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE !!!
Turbo at end be like, why you encouraging him ??? 😂
Those bumper jacks are hard to come by too! Thanks for sharing Chris, I hope Jen is doing well and Gus and Turbo! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯 I perfer the bull dog weld on hitches, they will not come off the ball! Trailer looks pretty good, I don’t know what kind of welding machine he has but it’s probably a 110 unit! I had one until I bought my Lincoln 180 , 220v and I love it and it welds 3/8” materials and if you heat 1/2” up it will weld it too!
The guy with the starter problem’s was in a hurry to meet his dealer 🤣
I remember reading what it said on the front will it run then I saw it was you and I'm like yeah it'll run unless the engine has a rod through the block, Even then you could always rebuild it of course why I'm going to the video bro Cool Good to see you putting out videos.
Best mechanic on youtube 4 sure!
Love these videos your such an awesome guy and your going to be an even awesome dad much love man love your fan from across the pond 🏴🇬🇧
I always liked those thunderbirds because of the unique style but my favorite is the 64.
My best friend had a 63, the same color. Early 80's in Ocean Beach Ca, San Diego. Cruising down the beach was a great ride, as smooth as a Caddie to me. It wasn't pristine but it ran good. I wish they put that swing away steering wheel on more cars. It was a second car and I think he sold it for $900. and the guy was going to make a low rider out of it. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some great looking low riders but they never ride as smooth when the springs are cut out. I had a 390 in my 1975 F250 King cab, short bed. My truck wieghed in at 6000 lbs empty. That was steel. I could pull my 29 ft travel trailer like it wasn't even there. With a 390 you never pass up a gas station without checking your gauge. They love to drink.😄
“Why? Cause I got problems, that’s why!”
😂😂😂
never know what ya going to get with your videos but always entertaining
Perfect way to start the weekend, thanks Chris!
Camaro convertible in the background looks like a fun video. also the welds look like he did it with a car battery.
I really enjoy the way you attack this stuff and get it all working good 👌
Chris, if anybody could start that seized T Bird motor it's you of course! You da man! Thanks for another fine video, you never disappoint! 🤙 STICKERS, DECALS???
Back when ford knew how to build a car... Cool video Chris my Grandfather had the exact car. Memories...
In my old stomping grounds. French Town NJ. I used to go roller skating in French Town. Lived in Ringgold NJ.
Chris you're gettin' down to the level of ur mechanics. Ur a German prefix meaning ancient or prehistoric. Anyway, love it man - this is fun!
It's alive didn't think you could pull it off good job
Wow! What a beautiful town! I bet its something around xmas time.
Neat video, enjoyed it! Those cars were so cool.
Outstanding Chris! You should press your luck and try to take off the exhaust manifolds without breaking a bolt. 😜
My favorite channel! Thanks for the video Chris.
Nice work chris great video bud can't beleive that motor ran ! You did great
Mate you’re brave with these old gems,I take my hat off to you.Regards England
